Excerpt from Address to the Friends of Liberty
Thanks to an overruling Providence, the. Great body of the people of the free states are beginning to see that their rights and their libertiesare in jeopardy, and bands of pat riotic and, resolute men are standing aloof from their po litical parties, vowing eternal hostility to the extension of slavery. -we see in these auspicious events, that the A1.mighty has been pleased to bless the instrumentality of those Whoearly' sounded the-alarm, who have steadfastly advo cated the Cause of the Oppressed, who have'warned their countrymen of the encroachinents of the slaveocracy, who have expended then prope1ty and hazarded thorr lives in defence of the rights of man, and the freedom inherited fr om their fathers. Had they falter ed, had they prayed less, had they used less moral suasion, had they acted inconsis tently at the ballot-box, the nation and sympathizing Europe might not have witnessed the revolution now in progress for the deliverance of our country from galling servitude to the slave aristocrats who have so long trampled upon their countrymen in chains, and been permitted for so many years to administer the affairs of this government.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the concept of abolitionism within the context of the specific brand of anti-slavery activism as it existed in the United States. The author provides a compelling overview of the practices, values, and guiding principles that animated the membership of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Drawing upon both primary and secondary source material, the author presents both the successes and challenges faced by abolitionists, shedding light on the ways in which religious conviction and moral outrage influenced their movement. Through the lens of the Society's founding principles and the motivations of its members, the book offers a unique perspective on the struggle to effect change in the face of entrenched social and economic institutions. By illuminating the complexities of a movement that sought to dismantle the system of slavery in the United States, this book not only provides a rich historical account but also prompts reflection on the challenges and opportunities for activism in the present day.
